They have the cutest blow-up pool which has a sprinkler fountain as well. Boys and dogs loved it!
Well, Sophie preferred the sandbox!
Then the boys took over the sandbox, and, unfortunately, washed the sand off themselves in the pool and even dumped some sand in the pool. Not wise...
We talked about the added cultures to the population of Burlington over the past ten years. She told me that some houses contain extended family, which I know, but to such an extent that they all cannot sleep at once, so they take turns in the house. Thus some families spend a lot of time in the parks -- such as the young girl we met yesterday who said her family is there frequently and for long stretches of time.
It was another hot afternoon -- a good one for swimming in the cold lake. Again, he found friends to play with including two boys born in Dubai with Russian parents. They have been in Canada for three years.
He was eager to try the challenging playground again.
An older boy sat in the handicapped swing, and Kevin rushed over to push him. The teen was rather shocked at this child's behavior!
When we arrived at the park, a teenager jumped out of a tree. Kevin was disappointed that he was unable to climb that tree or any other one in sight. Before we left, I noted this tree and told him to see if he could climb it!
This evening, my garden needed water before being left to the gifts from nature for a week, so I told Kevin he could do it -- a job he relished! A neighbor, who was very supportive in prayer for Karin, came over to say meet to Kevin for the first time. She was taken by Kevin's welcoming and loving attitude at meeting a new adult. He wanted his picture taken with her.
We had dinner tonight on the patio at the Club. While waiting to be served, I was receiving wonderful hugs. I tried to take a picture of us and discovered my mascara had run. ha!
